Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-02-22

two OF whom nave lett Sacramento since
they came here. I will venture to say
that but few Of them have reached their
homes at all. The same may be said of
the Tulare, San Diego and Mono repre-
sentatives, who can always be found at
their posts working for the best inter-
ests of the people they represent.
This morning the Senate was called to
order, Senator White in the chair.
Busin ess was at once commenced. On
the reading of bills, he proposed that
the first reading could be facilitated by
the reading of three bills at one time,
and thus get on with the business before
the Senate.
Senator Vrooman excepted to this
plan of progression. He did net think
It was good plan. 1t looked as if he
preferred to stop all legislation, and
would rather pose as an obstructionist.
Senator Dray seems to be of the same
turn of mind, so that when legislation
is being pushed by the Democrats the
Republican members find some way TO
filibuster along and kill time; and
so it has been since the commencement
of this session.
The delegation, consisting of Mayor
Workman, City Attorney Daily and
Mr.. b. Cohp, have made good progress
during their short stay here. Senator
White could not attend the meeting
that was held last night, on account
of the night session of the Senate, but
immediately after adjournment to-day a
meeting was held, and it was decided TO
introduce bill for the purpose of al
lowing all municipalities to issue four
per cent. bonds, for twenty years. re.
deemable every year in serials OF one
tenth. This method, if carried through,
will be of great advantage, it is said, to
cities throug hout the State of popula'
ton of 30, COO or over. 1t is further in-
tended to introduce an amendment TO
the constitution allowing cities of this
population to frame their own charters,
thus giving the people chance to say
whether they want new charter or
not. Senators Nrooman and White, to-.
gether with the Los Angeles delegation,
held long conference this morning, and
came to the conclusion that this was the
best course to pursue. Mr.. DAILY at once
set to work on the bill, and it may be
possibly introduced on Wednesday
Mayor Workman felt assured that it
would be good thing for the city of
Los Angeles, and great benefit to the sur
rounding country, as did also MIR. Cohn
and Mr.. Daily. There can be no doubt
that when the matter under considera-
ton is complete aud passes under the
hands of the committee, it will give en-
tire satisfaction to all concerned, and
give your city long looked-for relief.
As | have said before, there is little
progress being made in legislative mat
tiers. 1t has resolved itself down to an
admiration society, while Clunie,
Jones aud Caminetti take the lead in
the Senate as the iokers, the Assembly
is not without its representatives. in this
liue, with Representative Bcierly at
the head. When he takes the floor
they generally Lave good deal of fun.
| was walking through the corridor of
the Capitol to-day and picked up the
enclosed verses, which were written by
one OF the Fish and Game Committee at
CISCO during the time they were showed
In:
THE LIGHT OF THE PALACE CAR.
From Cisco's snow cad mountains
TO Colfax's beauteous plains
We strive to be delivered
Our prayers are all in vain.
Pure snow surrounds us closely,
Pure Water our sole drink;
Pure woman, always lovely.
Pure thoughts are ours TO think.
From out the dark surroundings,
One gleam of light is there
One star with grace abounding
Saves us from deep despair
While chee-ed with her sweet presence
We never shall de.pond
When she commands assistance,
Each quickly shall respond
Cisco (snowed i'm, February l6 1887
Only one lady occupant on board.
There is now a committee OF three
looking for the poet, under the lead of
joaquin, and if he is found it would
have been better for him that he never
had been born, or had been buried III
the snow dunes Of Cisco. Several of the
committee have been interviewed but
all deny that any Of them are response
BILE tor the production.
Until next Wednesday this beautiful
city OF "di. tanoes' will be deserted, with
the exception of few of the members
who will remain to do committee work.
The delegation that left for Los Angeles
tonight, felt that they were leaving a
prison, as several expressed themselves,
and, indeed, to some extent, it can be
compared to that, especially those who
have formed but few acquaintances.
There were no chances here for the
sojourner, and there will be many hearts
beat with Joy when this .tiresome Legis.
lature adjourns.
